LF Mod to move chat tabs below chatframe.
Hi,
would it be possible to move the chat tabs to the bottom of the chatframe? I use Fane to mod the look of the tabs, but would like them to be below the chatframe instead. |
try to add this after line 108:
Code:
_G[v:GetName()..'Tab']:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', _G[v:GetParent():GetName()], 'BOTTOMLEFT', x, y) |

After reloadUI they were placed at their default position, when any tab is clicked, they move to the new position, but are not clickable. Edit: After I tabbed back into WoW, all but the General tab had moved back to default position and working until one is clicked again. They revert back to default after 10-15 secs. Another edit: They revert back whenever any chat tab recieves an update. |
It was only a test, kinda knew it would work so easily.
I have enough issues with 3 addons at the moment, but someone might come along to help you, if not, ill be back later. |

This is requested often, and has not been done. May be because it's very difficult and/or not worth it or that it just cannot be done.

Hate to necro this, but anyone know if chat tab relocation has been accomplished to date? I'm guessing not or you'd see it around more, but just thought I'd ask.
My own feeble attempts included a SetPoint against the individual tab names for testing (e.g., SetPoint:ChatFrame1Tab("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER")), and also hooking FCF_SetTabPosition() from Blizzard_FrameXML\FloatingChatFrame.lua to no avail: lua Code:
Edit: I'm also looking at Chatter's code for a solution after reading various posts on the subject. So far it looks like Chatter can "stretch" the tabs for an offset effect? |
This would be pretty sweet. At least two of my UI's have chat located at the top of my screen. from what I see the thread it looks like you not only have to modify the tab, but the tab when clicked and the notification glow.
Maybe something that could be coded into Nib Chat Tabs? I'll play around with it later tonight and see if I can get anything to work. |

The tab titles relocate, but not the associated clickable regions (haven't figured it out yet /sigh)... lua Code:

ok lets try this lol I did some more digging around and finally I think I found something in FloatingChatFrame.xml
Releveant section: lines 742-805 Code:
<Layers> Code:
<!-- Main chat window --> |
OK this floating chat frame stuff is way over my head lol hope I helped a least a little. Good luck!

Try running this script:
Code:
/script GENERAL_CHAT_DOCK:ClearAllPoints() GENERAL_CHAT_DOCK:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", ChatFrame1, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -6) GENERAL_CHAT_DOCK:SetWidth(ChatFrame1:GetWidth()) |

added this to nib Chat Tabs at line 339 and it worked wonderfully. Thanks! |

Added to Fane: Code:
GENERAL_CHAT_DOCK:ClearAllPoints() |
Out of curiosity and since we're talking about chat tabs what are you using to skin your chat tabs?
nvm I'm an idiot |
